MANILA, Philippines – Anything Manny Pacquiao can do, Floyd Mayweather wants you to see he does it better.
After the KIA Carnival playing coach scored his first point in the Philippine Basketball Association on Wednesday, February 18, boxing rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. took to Instagram to show off his own hoops skills.
Pacquiao scored his first point on a free throw during an upset win over the reigning Commissioner’s Cup champions Purefoods, but has yet to sink a basket in four field goal attempts (3 of which came from the 3-point line), according to PBA-online.net. The same website lists Pacquiao’s efficiency rating at 2.5556.
Pacquiao’s participation in the 40-year-old basketball league, which PBA commissioner Chito Salud described as the Pacman “fulfilling his dreams,” has drawn criticism from some in the basketball community, with Purefoods import Daniel Orton recently calling it “a joke.”
Shortly after, Mayweather posted a video of himself sinking three straight baskets from the corner – including one with a single-hand.
The public would probably prefer to see the 37-year-old American boxer Mayweather and the 36-year-old Pacquiao compete in the ring. Until an announcement is made, the fans will have to settle for comparing their recent on-court performances.
